Celestia Forums

I created another planet map for you guys to use last night, as well as one for a fanfilm.





This one is available for download in the Downloads section of my site. Enjoy!

(The watermark is just there because I like things to be uniform on my site. It isn't present on the one you download.)





You can only view the preview version of this one, but I figured I'd post it anyway.

Again, Merry Christmas! I may have a desert planet texture uploaded later today, or perhaps tomorrow.

Merry Christmas diabloblanco17.... great work on the textures, Stygia looks amazing,

any chance of releasing your moded version of the stars.dat file with blue shade?

I guess we have to wait until after the movie release for that.

good luck with the movie...

cheers..

The stars you see in the background are not from celestia, and are not even real: it was created with PhotoShop...

Very nice textures.

I was just wondering if you create depth information for your planet surfaces (i.e. bumbmap or normalmap). These canyons and valleys might look quite impressive with that.

How many North American, Central Asian, and East African lakes can you spot in that second map - I've identified eight at a cursory look...

Beautiful textures. I can only dream of having the same facility with GIMP....

It looks like you need to apply spherical mapping corrections to these to prevent them pinching at the poles.

Is there a filter for this, our would you simply do a 'horizontal' weighted
blur, ie a gausian blur in GIMP with no verticle component, going with the
1 SD parameter going from half the circuference at the pole to maybe 1 pixel wide at 75-80 degrees latitude...

I've got a plugin for Photoshop that applies spherical mapping coordinates to an image, but it tends to wreak havoc upon my texture in the process. A large part of my texture is lost in the process, and afterwards, it becomes nigh impossible to get the ends to fit back together nicely.
